A Fresh Start

After years of seeing the Pathfinder rule books on the shelves of my FLGS, I took the plunge in December of 2012. I bought the Core Rulebook and began skimming it immediately. My first discovery was the character creation rules. They were fun! Characters were cool in a way that I hadn't seen in previous editions of the world's oldest role-playing game. Within three months, I was up and running my first Pathfinder adventure. That was three years ago and I have no regrets getting involved with the Pathfinder system.

5 Stars! Hands down...

This is THE Book!

Firstly, when I give this book 5 stars, I don't mean it in the same way that I mean it for the others. For me, 5 stars means "Meets all of my expectations", and this book does far more than that. This book is the cornerstone of Pathfinder. This book is a foundational resource to unlocking adventures here-to imagined.
